"Who are you?"

Zhang Kai asked as he quickly stepped back, but two big men appeared behind him and forcibly carried him back into the house.

The young man glanced at him and said lightly: "Zhang Yizheng, don't think about escaping, I have set up eight warriors in your courtyard, all of them are strong in martial arts, you can't escape."

"Who the hell are you?"

Zhang Kai simply gave up the idea of escaping, his eyes looked at the man vigilantly, countless thoughts bypassed in his heart, he had already vaguely guessed the identity of the other party, could it be the scout of the Qingzhou Army?

"In Xia Li Qingming, the Qingzhou Army has joined the army, and is currently in charge of collecting some intelligence in Jiangdu, has Zhang Yizheng heard of it?"

"Sure enough, it's the Qingzhou Army!"

Zhang Kai's face turned pale, since the other party found him, it means that they have mastered some details of their participation in Yuwenzhi and planning

Li Qingming waved his hand, "We have no malice, Doctor Zhang is taking a seat!" ”

Zhang Kai had no choice but to sit down, he was very worried in his heart, and he didn't know what the other party's intention would be when he found him?

Li Qingming was not in a hurry, took out a document and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Zhang Yizheng has two sons, who live in Baiqi Lane, Xuanyangfang, Chang'an, the eldest son Zhang Yang, sixteen years old, and the second son Zhang Hai, thirteen years old, the second son has a two-inch scar on his neck, and was bitten by a vicious dog when he was eight years old........."

"Shut up!"

Zhang Kai looked so excited that he stood up and shouted, "Where is my son?" ”

Li Qingming smiled faintly, "I have always sought stability in my work, I won't come to you without full certainty, your two sons and wife are in our hands, and now they are no longer in Chang'an, as for where are they now?" I can only tell you that they are safe, but their lives are in your hands. ”

Zhang Kai stood stunned for a long time. Finally sitting down, he held his head and asked, "What do you want me to do?" ”

"Have you prepared the medicine Yuwen Zhi and the explanation?"

Zhang Kai raised his head and looked at Li Qingming in surprise, "It turns out that you all know!" ”

"I've been following your progress, and frankly, we're not going to stand in the way of your actions. We are also happy to see it, I am just on the order of the commander to understand your every move, Zhang Yizheng, I hope you can cooperate with us. ”

Zhang Kai lowered his head and said nothing, he originally just wanted to repay Yuwenshu's favor and go home to reunite with his wife and children, but now that his wife and children have fallen into the hands of the Qingzhou Army, Yuwenshu's favor has become insignificant.

After a while, he sighed, "I don't seem to have a choice?" ”

Li Qingming nodded. "You really don't have a choice."

"Alright! I can cooperate with you, but I want to know, what can I get after the deed? Zhang Kai is not ambiguous at all on the issue of interests.

"As a condition, you will be reunited with your wife and children in the future, and in addition, you can also escape the crime of killing the king, Zhang Yizheng, these two conditions are not thin. You should understand in your heart. ”

Zhang Kai nodded silently, of course he understood in his heart. No matter who catches them, they will kill them for the crime of killing the monarch in order to gain fame in the world, Li Qingming promised to let him get rid of the crime of killing the king, this condition is indeed not thin.

Although he cooperated with the Qingzhou Army, it was tantamount to betraying Yuwen Zhihe and Yuan Min, but now he has no choice.

Zhang Kai swallowed his saliva and asked, "I promise you!" ”

Li Qingming spread out a letter of allegiance. said with a smile: "This is a document of allegiance to my marshal, I hope you will sign and press your handprint, and then you will be a member of our Qingzhou Army, and your net worth and life will be protected by our Qingzhou Army." ”

Zhang Kai signed his name on the allegiance letter with trembling hands and pressed his handprint.

Li Qingming put away the letter of allegiance. smiled: "Let's talk about the Yuan family!" I heard that Yuan Li was also transferred to Jiangdu, I want to know who else in the Yuan family is also here? ”

……….

The news that Li Yuan invaded Guanzhong and occupied Chang'an made the people of the Xiaoguo army panic, and most of the soldiers of the Xiaoguo army were from Guanzhong, which was also an incomprehensible thing about Yang Guang.

The area he hated and was most hostile to was Guanzhong in Chang'an, which was the nest of the Guanlong aristocracy, and when Yuwenshu reorganized the Xiaoguo Army, Yang Guang's final approval plan was still that the Guanzhong soldiers were the majority, on the one hand, because of the influence of traditional military forces, and on the other hand, because most of the most elite soldiers came from Guanzhong.

For Yang Guang, who pursues perfection, the most elite soldiers have also become Yang Guang's inevitable choice.

Since the news of Li Yuan's capture of Guanzhong and Chang'an reached Jiangdu, soldiers continued to flee, and Yang Guang issued a death order for this, so Chen Ling was responsible for chasing down the fugitive soldiers, and once caught, he would be killed.

Despite this, the killing could not stop the wave of soldiers fleeing, and the fleeing soldiers came in droves, even high-ranking generals such as General Tiger Benlang and General Tiger Benya.

Under the gate of Jiangdu City, the heads of five tiger generals have been hung, including Dou Xian, the nephew of the Dou Wei clan, who was also killed.

In the afternoon of this day, the worried Pei Ju came to the front of the imperial study, which has now become the place where Yang Qi handles the government affairs, Yang Guang basically does not ask about political affairs, and all matters other than military affairs are decided by Yang Qi.

Pei Ju has to find a way to stop the wave of escape, on the other hand, the danger is also imminent, and he has to find a way to protect himself.

Pei Ju waited in front of the imperial study for a while, ran out of a eunuch, bowed and saluted: "The grandson invites Pei Gong in!" ”

Pei Ju tidied up his clothes, walked up the steps quickly, walked a few steps and asked the eunuch in a low voice: "How is the grandson now?" ”

The eunuch shook his head, "It's better for Gong Pei not to mention the matter of Guanzhong." ”

Pei Ju's heart was gloomy, now the situation in the Great Sui can be said to be gone, and now the imperial court has no territory except for the two cities of Jiangdu and Luoyang.

And now the connection between Jiangdu and Luoyang has been severed, since the Wagang Army set up a falcon team, Luoyang and Jiangdu contact the letter eagle has been almost shot and killed, and the messenger is even more unable to come, the last news they got is that Li Yuan captured Chang'an, established the king Yang Yu as the emperor, and respected the Son of Heaven here as the emperor.

Although the imperial court demanded that the news be blocked, the news still spread far and wide, spreading all over Jiangdu City and inside and outside the Xiaoguo army, making the people of the three armies panic, not only the army, but also the people in the court, and the government was almost at a standstill.

Pei Ju didn't know what state Yang Qi of Yan was now, but judging from the expression of the eunuch, Yang Qi must be in a bad mood, which was almost undoubted.

Pei Ju followed the eunuch into the imperial study, only to see Yang Ju standing in front of the map with his hands in his hand, staring at the map of the Great Sui Sheji for a long time, Pei Ju sighed secretly in his heart, stepped forward and bowed, "The old minister sees His Royal Highness!" ”

Yang Qi didn't look back, and asked lightly: "Does Gong Pei think that Hebei still belongs to our Great Sui?" ”

Only then did Pei Ju find that there were a lot of yellow labels on the map, and the counties belonging to the Great Sui had a label, except for Jiangdu and Luoyang, the other labels were concentrated in the frontier, and Yang Qi took a few labels in his hand, and seemed to be a little hesitant.

Pei Ju hurriedly said: "Regardless of whether we can command Zhang Xuan and his army, but at least he did not change the flag, he still accepts the canonization of the Son of Heaven, so the old minister believes that the area he controls should still belong to the territory of the Great Sui, and Zhang Xuan is also a Sui minister."

Yang Qi raised the label and pasted it to Hebei, but he finally gave up, shook his head and said: "The nominal Sui Chen has no meaning, so it doesn't count!" ”

Pei Ju didn't dare to explain any more, so he had to bow down and remain silent, at this time, Yang Qi sat back in his seat and asked with a smile: "Is there anything wrong with Pei Gong?" ”

"The old minister is here to discuss with His Highness about stabilizing the morale of the army, now the morale of the army is very unstable, it is easy to cause the army to mutiny, we must stabilize the morale of the army as soon as possible."

Of course, Yang Qi was very concerned about this matter, but he didn't know what to do? Since Pei Ju took the initiative to mention it, then Pei Ju must have a plan, Yang Qi hurriedly asked, "I don't know what Pei Gong can do?" ”

"Lao Chen thought of a way, now there are few men in Jiangdu City, women are too old to marry, and there are a large number of widows in the war every year, it is better to let the soldiers marry him, the soldiers have families in Jiangdu, and they will not be so eager to return to Guanzhong, and the military spirit can be stabilized, I don't know if His Royal Highness thinks it is feasible?"

"This ....... seems a little inappropriate!"

Yang Qi hesitated and said: "This is tantamount to letting soldiers forcibly marry people's daughters, which will cause riots in Jiangdu and ruin the reputation of the Great Sui." ”

Pei Ju sighed secretly, when is it, and considering the reputation, this Yan King is still too pedantic.

He hurriedly explained: "In fact, it will not cause a riot, first let the Jiangdu government recruit young women who are willing to marry soldiers, and then the military will count the soldiers who are willing to marry women, engrave their names on small wooden plaques, and let each woman draw by herself, and whoever she draws is who, this is a providential arrangement, I believe they have nothing to say." ”

"But some soldiers already have wives at home, isn't it a bit ...... for them to marry again?"

"Your Highness, don't worry, the eldest husband has three wives and four concubines, if there is a wife in the family, let the daughter of Jiangdu be a concubine, let them solve it by themselves, we just need to stabilize the morale of the army."

Yang Qi thought for a long time, and finally nodded, "Since you can get married in an orderly manner, leave this matter to Duke Pei!" Lone agreed here. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, the old minister will go and handle this matter."

Pei Ju saluted, and then hurried away, Yang Qi took out a spunlace from the drawer, this is the personal weapon that Zhang Xuan gave him at the beginning, after many years, it is still cold and shining, and it is extremely sharp.

Yang Qi sighed and said to himself: "Lonely to see, when will you rebel?"
